Starting to have to bury classmates...

Last year we had to bury a friend that died in Afghanistan.
Now we have to bury my first date that was murdered by her abusive husband.
Not sure how this works, but it certainly sucks to be an adult.

Sorry to hear, but it's just an unfortunate part of life

Let me rescue this thread:
Louisiana people who live elsewhere now. Have you noticed that more of your classmates from LA have died than your friends from where you live now?
To clarify: Louisiana people die young; not as much in other places.

The dirty secret they don't tell you when you're a kid.

Damn, dude, that's tough. I'm 38, and our class has seemed to be relatively immune. Had 2(that I know of) out of 350+. Knock on wood, I know that can change in a hurry. Had a few pass in car wrecks a grade or 2 in front and/or behind, though.

Yes. All my rowdy friends are down. They all were from La. up here everyone just lingers around.

When I was a kid I found my Grandmothers senior yearbook and she put a big "X" over their picture if they died and wrote off to the side how they did such as car accident, suicide, cancer, etc. I still find that strange.

I'm 27, and we have had 1 pass out of 96 in our graduating class.

I see what you're getting at, but I don't think it's a Louisiana thing.
I think it has more to do with some of the people who stay home their entire lives. To be 100% clear: there is nothing wrong with staying in or near your hometown. But a lot (certainly not all, but a fairly sizable portion) of people who die young do so because of drug use, and the people who OD on drugs aren't usually ambitious enough to move somewhere else.
And now, let the downvotes rain down on me.

Back in the day death wasn't so taboo. People were very familiar with it-Accidents, diseases that we've eradicated, wars. My grandmother wrote down what she wanted in her own funeral service (we couldn't find it when it came time, but fortunately what we arranged was pretty close.)
Most of us haven't lost a sibling in infancy, or watched a friend die of something that modern medicine would consider trivial. We don't like to think about it. Previous generations didn't have a choice.

I graduated with over a thousand people in my class. 90% of I don't give a frick if they are alive or dead

Welcome to the club mofo!

Your right, I work in the medical field so I see people die or ones that are about to die all the time. Im pretty immune to it but times are definitely different now in how we view death in our society/culture.

To be fair, he was generalizing. And what he said was true, of course there's exceptions like your friend. Sorry you lost that friend btw
